Un-used Lease Miles

ATSR · 09-11-2008, 09:58 AM

Hey everyone,

I was told that BMW will give me credit for the un-used miles at lease return for fixing all of the stuff that is out of the normal "wear and tear" items.

They told me that I would get a $0.20 credit per un-used mile towards those fixes.

Is this true?

Your endless knowledge is greatly appreciated

I've never heard of that. My last lease was over 10K miles under and they just took the keys. Granted, I do take very good care of my cars.

Just found this portion of the lease:

Quote:

I have elected a high Mileage Allowance. I may receive a refund of 15 cents per unused mile for the unused miles between 45000 miles and 54000 miles, unless (a) the Vehicle is destroyed or stolen, (b) I default or terminate this Lease early, (c) I purchase the vehicle, or (d) the refund is less than $1.

Only you know whether that will apply to you and what mileage your lease states.

i wish i was under in miles. im about 1k over my expected mileage right now

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 09-11-2008, 10:17 AM

I'm under as of now. . . way under.
This would be very nice.
I am going to have to pay for a new rear bumper i think

My unused miles may cover it

Wow - wonder if it has ever happened - all I ever hear from people is how muich they are over, not if they are over!

I got a 3-year, 10k miles/year lease. The math showed that coming in at 11k miles per year was still cheaper than getting a 12k miles/year lease (assuming you buy the extra miles ahead of time, a few months before you have to turn-in).

Thanks for the info

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be way below on my 3yr 15K miles a year lease. I've had my car for 8 months and I am just over 7K, and as you can see below my avatar, currently I am 4000 miles away from my car

If you don't have a high mileage lease (greater than 15k per year), you get nothing but a thank you keeping the mile low for us. You use them or loose them.

arabbmw · 09-11-2008, 01:53 PM

thats really good to hear for me. im about 3 thousand miles under what i could have.

cycler · 09-11-2008, 02:00 PM

i have a 2007 FX35 as my 2nd car. Im supposed to have 21,600 miles at the end of my lease. Its due back April 2008. Right now I only have 10K miles. I wish could get a car other than Mercedes that offers 7.5K miles a year. And I wonder whether or not Infiniti will credit me back money for my unused miles.

When I gave back my Lexus RX330 I had 14K miles and was supposed to have 24K miles.

Yep

and definitely not at the 20-cents/mile.

I have a higher mileage lease 2-yrs 39K miles and I paid 15-cents/mile upfront, so I will get a refund for anything unused over 30K.
